I think the National Stud etc does provide transport too...PeTrAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09626816761408581762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944843164785842713.post-76184493499871051852009-11-09T01:46:37.195-08:002009-11-09T01:46:37.195-08:00Thanks, Petra. Would we need a car to go there or do you know if there are public transport options? I looked up the National Stud and saw it's out in the middle of the countryside.towniegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13653185657108355484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944843164785842713.post-41864504564161827062009-11-07T14:07:59.335-08:002009-11-07T14:07:59.335-08:00If you can, go to Newbridge, to see the National Stud, Japanese Gardens etc if they are still open. Newbridge is only 40 mins from Dublin and beautiful!!!!PeTrAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09626816761408581762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944843164785842713.post-56309955521005039462009-11-04T12:00:13.713-08:002009-11-04T12:00:13.713-08:00Thanks for that. I do drive, but I don't have an international license, which apparently I would need to drive in Ireland. Thanks though -- I must remind the folks to make sure that at least one of them does, because I think they'll be hoping to take a few trips out of the city. I love the Wicklow mountains too!towniegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13653185657108355484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944843164785842713.post-62025533679514319652009-11-04T11:47:11.775-08:002009-11-04T11:47:11.775-08:00Can you drive? Theres some nice views of Dublin from Wicklow mountains. If not, how about the dart to Killiney or Bray? The coast is beautiful. So is Howth. In Dublin just bring them to some proper irish bars (not temple bar) maybe a trad gig or classical in the NCH or the theater? It will most likely be cold wet and windy, most of us will be staying warm in the pubs!mysteriousdonkeyhttp://twitter.com/ChrisStynesnoreply@blogger.com
